By: Isuru Parakrama

Colombo (LNW): Retired Major Attorney-at-Law Ajith Prasanna has been sentenced to two terms of rigorous imprisonment for a period of six months each, after he pleaded guilty for contempt of court.

Prasanna, who is currently serving in prison, will serve his two prison sentences separately at the same time.

The retired major was arrested upon a lawsuit filed against him based on a comment he had delivered during a briefing in 2019, which had been interpreted as a contempt of court.
